If you actually listen to what she says / read the transcript (not worth it), her complaint is that PP avoided one on one interviews with real journalists... And ... there's no actual complaint about him going on a podcast that will lob softballs, she just calls Joe Rogan a dumbass a bunch of times and pretends like she's making a point.

Maybe she expected the interview to happen and had an article planned about it, and then decided to just write it anyway when it didn't

Yeah, I was trying to figure out the argument. She brings up podcasts being treated as journalism by millions when it’s not (a good point), but PP in fact did not take the interview, and her complaint ends up being:

But whatever the reason for not doing the interview, I think it was a good thing that he didn't do it. If only because selfishly having to sit through that Jordan Peterson interview with Pierre Polyev really tested my sanity. And I think one with Rogan might genuinely break it.

Meanwhile, Joe Rogan and whoever he’s with (IDK I don’t watch this podcast) don’t say much of anything? Just comparisons to Kamala and kinda dumb complaints. I don’t get why people would watch that, but I don’t see how they dove in to Canadian politics at all.

Then it’s talk of right-wing ostensibly pro Canada Twitter accounts being Trump shills. Well, duh, they’re farming the algorithm. Twitter will bury them (and their living) if they bash Trump.

Then the referendum thing, which i don’t know enough about to comment about… but seems topical I guess.
